Today is your day Boomer! Yesterday, I talked about the brave efforts of three Boomer women who blocked a noisy, intimidating trucker from entering their quiet Ottawa neighbourhood. Today, another heroic Boomer story of Elaine, a 73-year-old woman from Campbell River, B.C., who stood up to a shoplifter at a local Walmart store! Elaine, who stands only five-foot-three, watched as the much-taller male shoplifter dumped many expensive items of meat in his packsack.....and then confronted him in the store outside doorway as he attempted to walk out. She even physically pulled off his head covering so cameras could get a look at his face, and after the incident said "I’m sort of a pushover; everybody is shocked I had this in my DNA. I think it was a result of frustration building up inside my body, which lashed out.” Elaine, we say way to go!!! But......at the same time Boomers, think about this: what if the guy turned violent and pulled a knife on her? What if the trucker in Ottawa decided to use his big vehicle as a battering ram on those three ladies? Sometimes....these offenders, who can be desperate, can lose their tempers quickly and do stupid things. So, beware brave Boomers. Most of the time, we should let the police do the enforcing! Stay safe and cheers!
